Trump quote strait out of apocalyptic novel, says you can call COVID-19 "a flu"

"You can call it a germ, you can call it a flu, you can call it a virus. You know, you can call it many different names. I’m not sure anybody even knows what it is." ~Trump, March 27, 2020, Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing.

The President of the United States as of yesterday doesn't know what it is or what to call it. That shit is ##%&ing real. Really said it. You're not having a nightmare.

Every single one of us needs to blast this quote every where. Every Democratic official issue a press release calling for his resignation. Enough!

Nothing will sway that deep belief. Not every science advisor he has not every republican Governor. Not 100,000 deaths.

In his mind it is like the swine flu Obama faced. Once the deaths from this way exceed that flu he will start trotting out conspiracy theories.

4. Thank god we have a "stable genius" as president.

Can you imagine how bad off we'd be with an ignoramus who wouldn't ask the doctors on his task force for information about the disease (which you knew was a pandemic before anyone else) or offer possible solutions?
